 | Vaquita & Other Stories by Edith Pearlman
Edith Pearlman's book is remarkable for its scope, vision and craft. Each story is so well imagined, I kept suspecting Pearlman of having actually lived the lives of her character, who are as varied as they are interesting... every story feels informed by a rare, original wisdom .

 | The Rifle by Gary Paulsen, Norman Dietz
In 1768, a gunsmith lovingly and skillfully builds a rifle which he sells to a man who uses it to fight for America's independence during the Revolutionary War. When the soldier dies, a woman inherits the rifle and hides it in her attic where it remains hidden until 1994, when it is found and sold to an antiques dealer. The antiques dealer sells it to a man at a gun show, that man trades it to a mechanic. The mechanic hangs the gun above his fireplace...and it is soon after that a tragedy occurs.
